The Sihanoukville Autonomous Port has an ideal characteristic to protect all vessels berthing alongside the port’s terminals. Enhancing the ship's berthing performance by using natural islands as a reliable wind blockage. In addition, a solid break water was constructed to block strong wind from blowing heavily against the ships berthing alongside the new quay terminals.
